Mixed Case Filenames



DOne place where mixed-case names are known to occur is in LaTeX fontDdescriptor files. Fortunately, LaTeX does not rely on case alone to)distinguish between these files. MS-DOS,0OS/2, Windows NT, and MacOS file systems are notAcase-sensitive; consequently a request for OT1cmr.fd can-always be satisfied by ot1cmr.fd (or3OT1CMR.FD). Unix platforms, which do haveBcase-sensitive file systems, can use links (which most systems now?support) to overcome any restrictions that are encountered. AtBinstallation time, a script may produce a whole TDS tree with long?case-sensitive names that consist only of symbolic links to the?CD-ROM file system. The space overhead produced by this ``link6farm'' (at 1KB per link) may be negligible compared to%the space required for all the files.
